Coincidentally, real estate agent Aaron Culver is looking for a tenant to rent an apartment in the building that he owns and happens to live in himself. The price is right, well within Mark’s budget. The location is perfect. The apartment is suitable to accommodate Mark’s needs. The only problem though, is that Mark happens to have a serious crush on his would-be landlord. Is there any way he can overcome or even conceal his secret fantasies about the successful, confident and very attractive man-of his dreams? Does he even really want to conceal them, and what would Aaron do if he were to discover Mark’s secret? When the two do in fact actually become landlord and tenant, they quickly discover there is more than one way to collect the rent.

{WARNING} Contains scenes of extreme violence that may be offensive to some readers. Fire—dreams of Fire—visions of Fire. Where do they come from? Aryazate doesn’t know why, but he fears the power secretly growing in him. Am I a demon, or a sorcerer? Kavada, the blacksmith, seems to be the only one he can trust, but even he doesn’t know the extent of Aryazate’s secrets. What would he say if he found out that the beautiful maiden Aryazate, is really a young man forced by circumstances to conceal this truth, which day by day becomes more evident? Just when he thinks Kavada is ready to hear the truth, Aryazate’s worst nightmares become reality. The Head-Mage Monushir accuses him of sorcery and has him imprisoned. What will this trial reveal? Is the truth so horrible that Aryazate will welcome torture and death by fire—by the same fire that haunts his dreams?

WARNING: this book contains BDSM (bondage, torture by consent, and other sadistic practises), homoerotica, Menage scenes, toys or other sexual devices. Content may be offensive to some readers. Tanya returns to her homeland to seek revenge for the abduction of her sister and to face the evil queen she holds responsible for the crime. Her rash attack leads to her capture and incarceration by the monarch's forces, and she is taken in chains to the heart of their empire where she encounters experts of domination, sexual servitude, discipline, and the blackest sorcery. A diabolic Master and his beautiful sadistic assistant force Tanya to endure bondage and sensual abuse while they seek to seduce her into accepting her slavery. Tanya valiantly resists the confession that will end her travail and make her their obedient property, but dark desires begin to rise within her. The excruciating pleasure and delightful distress that they impose upon her body brings distant memories into light--memories of her fall from nobility and her subsequent relocation to a perverse brothel. It was there that the cruel owner, Sebastian, trained her to become a submissive plaything for the depraved nobility of the land. Under his expert tutelage Tanya almost embraced her fate, but was freed before the final conversion occurred. Now, in the dungeons of the castle, Tanya learns how to revel in her captivity. And when she discovers the incredible secret that lies behind the power of the dark queen, she becomes hopelessly lost to the binding power of erotic slavery.
